These special forces are part of a well-trained unit that has been deployed to carry out special missions – from reconnaissance missions to attacking enemy units directly – especially in the Donbass.

“During our cooperation, we were allowed to follow them a few hundred meters from the combat zone, where they had to support the infantry, including with mortar fire,” Decker says. Zelensky’s social media teams are checking Instagram for relevant photos. They obviously thought what I had was good enough to share.”
